While the children still have two more weeks of summer fun to look forward to, the George Price Centre for Peace and Development has closed the doors of the Summer Programmes 2008. Over 120 children took part in our Information Technology and Reading Classes and without a doubt they all had a great time.

We would like to thank all the volunteers and contributors, without whom these programmes would not be possible. In the sincere hope not to have forgotten anyone, here's to whom we are sending a heartfelt thanks:
